Charlies angels (2019)

It was fun, nothing out of the ordinary but fun. Kristen Stewart was good.

Unsane

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah it looks bad. Funny that Tangerine looked awesome though, but Soderbergh couldn’t pull it off
His basketball movie looks good so it seems he get it later

Aliens was good but I think I like the first one better. I prefer the small scale horror to the big action spectacle.

I'm hesitant to watch the theatrical cut after LV's comments. I need to get my hands on the Assembly Cut. Have you seen both versions?

The theatrical cut is still good. Just a big, compromised step down.

(Also the Aliens Special Edition is way better than the theatrical version.)

Actually, sorry, I was just reading about the differences in the two and I've seen Assembly.

Have you watched the FUBAR films?

They're both good but the second one is much better than the first because it's wackier, and closer to Goon in style and spirit

I'm just going to take the plunge with the theatrical cut since it's right there in front of me.

There's also a making of documentary "Memory: The Origins of Alien" which I'm definitely going to watch.

I think you'll still get a lot out of the theatrical cut plus you can look forward to the Assembly Cut/Special Edition later on with some background.

And thanks for the reminder on the documentary, I read about it a while ago and completely forgot about it.

This one is tough for me but yeah Alien is superior. Still, Aliens is so fucking good and the best thing about it is that its a different beast. The same qith Alien 3, even though its has similar aspects than the first one.

Man, i grabbing my Alien Quadrology box set soon.

The Way Back.

Stunning photography, Ben Affleck was amazing, and the movie is somber but cool. I liked the ending. It was alright.

LOVED Alien 3. So bleak and depressing.

The first one is still the best.
